Communication Matrix Series-Level 5

Course Number
OLCommMatrix5Lvl2hrWVDOE
Overview
Individuals at Level V use concrete symbols that physically resemble what they represent, to communicate. Concrete symbols look like, feel like, move like or sound like what they represent. Level V is a transitional step that many individuals skip. Many individuals with sensory loss who have limited concepts about the world around them may need concrete symbols to make sense of the connection between the symbol and the thing/activity. For some individuals, concrete symbols serve as a bridge to more abstract symbols. This module includes an in-depth description of the characteristics of an individual who is functioning in level V including communicative behaviors and intents, specific intervention strategies and tools, IEP/IFSP considerations, and essential take a ways.
